Brockfast! Badger family makes nightly visit to hotel... to feast on bowls of CORNFLAKES

Their day starts when night falls. So no wonder these badgers like to eat breakfast at 9pm.

Every evening for the past four years, the family of brocks have been turning up at a five-star hotel on the Isle of Wight for a bowl of cornflakes. The usually shy creatures hang about, snouts in bowls, while guests look on in delight.

Maggie Hilton, who runs the Enchanted Manor hotel, near Ventnor, said: 'We started putting leftover scraps from breakfast out for the badgers. They would grab most of the food and run away to eat it but, strangely, they would stay to eat the cornflakes.
